Signal de Randon, Mountain summit in Lozère, France
Signal de Randon is a mountain summit in the Margeride range within the Central Massif, standing at 1551 meters above sea level. The landscape is marked by rough granite boulders shaped by natural fractures that give the terrain its distinctive appearance.
The mountain's name comes from the Gallic word 'randa' meaning limits, as it once marked the boundary between the ancient deaneries of Saugues and Javols. This reflects its long-standing role as a natural landmark in the region.
The granite formations around Signal de Randon reflect the geological heritage of the region, with specific patterns known as diaclases shaping the landscape.
The summit is reachable via marked hiking trails starting from Col du Cheval Mort, with routes suited to different skill levels. Sturdy hiking boots are recommended due to the uneven granite terrain and loose rocks.
The rounded granite boulders were shaped over thousands of years through a natural process called woolsack weathering. These distinctive dome-shaped formations are scattered throughout the summit area and create a memorable landscape.
